Toys Heavy with Lead, Etc.!

I guess this “Free Market” thing might not be working out so well. How could it be that industry is just finding this out? China, and not in secret, has embraced “Unfettered Capitalism” and with it the attendant Republican lack of regulation (think e. coli, again). So, why are our industries who flocked to China in an effort to reduce cost but not profits so “Shocked” about the obvious outcome: product adulteration and product recalls? Maybe it is the usual short term thought that often infects American business decisions.

So, what have we learned? Well we know that our food system is not safe, our pet’s food system isn’t safe and now our children aren’t safe from their “Toys.” Read the NYT’s article and tell me that you aren’t reading everything you buy and discerning between “distributed by” and “made in.”

HMMM! What is next?
